Displaying the Mapping Console view

Navigate a mapping or display the progress of mapping operations through the Mapping Console view. This view opens automatically when you open a mapping feature with progress feedback, for example, when you import mappings from database.

  1. Right-click an area in the Mapping Editor, select Mapping Console....

    The Mapping Console view is displayed as a new tab with sub-tabs. In every sub-tab, except for Console Commands and Output, you can use Search to filter the list.

    This table shows the available tabs and a description on how to use the tab:

    Tab name Description
    Variables and Constants

    This tab is the default opening tab for Mapping Console view. Access the tab to maintain variables and constants, and to search for variables and constants in a mapping.

    1. Click Search to filter the variables and constants in the mapping.
    2. Double-click a row to reveal the location of a variable or constant.
    Moogle

    This tab contains search functionality for the mapping. This tab replaces the tabs Input Document Elements, Functions and Parameters, and Output Document Elements in previous versions of Mapper.

    See Searching in a mapping.
    Links

    This tab contains all the links in the mapping. Access this tab to select a link in the editor when working with huge and complex mappings.

    To select a link, double-click a link in the Mapping Editor.

    To delete a link use the context menu.
    Broken Links
    Note: Saving a mapping to database will fail if there are broken links.

    Access this tab to show the broken links in a mapping.

    If a link cannot be made due it is listed on this tab. Failure to link may be due to a missing source or target element after a document has been changed for the mapping. The missing party is indicated with a question mark (?), and detailed information is shown below the list. The tab also show the information about the internal IDs of the missing elements and a reason why the elements are missing.

    For advanced users, use the internal ID information to deduce why and what is missing. Use the internal ID information with a previous version of the mapping file (.map).

    Double-click a link to select the existing source or target in the Mapping Editor.

    The broken links remain in the mapping until you discard them with the Discard option in the context menu.
    Validation This tab shows the result of document or mapping validations. If issues are detected, a list with detailed descriptions is displayed. Select an issue from the list to show more specific details about the issue.
    Console Commands and Output Access this tab to view mapping operation progress and to access additional commands, if needed.
  2. Save your work.
  3. Optionally, close the Mapping Console view.
